how to monitor progress of index creation

Hi All
I am creating index on oracle805 database. Table is very big and it is being running for hours. How can i find out that index creation is going on or stuck somewhere or is waiting for something.
Please reply asap as i have this night to find a solution.

Hi
The way i found is that by looking used_blocks and used_extents column for v$sort_segment. This will tell you about progress of index and it becomes easier as i was using a seperate temporary tablespace for index creation.
